How/where to call setlocale

Hello,

I am running Django/python on Ubuntu. I am finding that my locale is not setup correctly. Running locale from the command line shows this:

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

Running python from the command line I can see that my locale is not set hence I am running with the default ("C") locale which has the wrong (non-GB) date format. Calling setlocale(...) fixes this:

>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('en_GB', 'UTF-8')
>>>
>>> locale.getlocale()
(None, None)
>>> locale.nl_langinfo(locale.D_FMT)
'%m/%d/%y'
>>>
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
'en_GB.UTF-8'
>>>
>>> locale.getlocale()
('en_GB', 'UTF-8')
>>> locale.nl_langinfo(locale.D_FMT)
'%d/%m/%y'

However, I am unsure how/where to run setlocale(...) within my configuration/start-up since this affects the entire environment, though that is not really a problem since all my sites are UK based.

Can someone help please?

Thanks
Jay
